Matius 25:31

The Judgment

25:31 “When ¹  the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne.

Matius 25:2

25:2 Five ²  of the virgins ³  were foolish, and five were wise.

1 Tesalonika 1:7

1:7 As a result you became an example ⁴  to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

[25:31]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:2]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[25:2]  ³ tn Grk “Five of them.”

[1:7]  ⁴ tc Most mss (א A C D² F G Ψ 0278 Ï) have the plural τύπους (tupou", “examples”) here, while a few important witnesses have the singular τύπον (tupon, “example”; B D*^,c 6 33 81 104 1739 1881 pc lat). With ὑμᾶς (Jumas, “you”) immediately preceding, the plural form looks motivated: Scribes would be expected to change the singular to the plural here. Although the external evidence for the singular reading is not overwhelming, the internal evidence for it is compelling.
